I also have a wonderful husband and 5 beautiful children; as well as 17 piano students. I am busy! I discovered rug hooking in 2004, and I quickly discovered that there were no suppliers in Utah, and the craft stores that carried minimal supplies were unreliable as far as stocking went. So I decided to start a small business and here we are. I have been teaching beginning rug hooking and punch needle locally for several years, I have even appeared on a local news magazine show, Studio 5, where I demonstrated punch needle embroidery. I also supply my own hand dyed wool to local quilt and fiber stores. In 2007, I was reading on the online rug hooking groups about how members were going to hook-ins and rug camps, and I wanted to go! But they were all too far for me to travel and be away from my young family for so long. So I decided to host a hook-in myself just so I could go to one. It was a great success and turned into an annual event. I am very excited because it has even evolved into a full fledged guild of rug hookers in Utah called the Utah Rug and Fiber Guild. We just hosted our first retreat and are looking forward to having a national teacher come in the next year or two. I am currently serving as the Communications Director for our guild. Welcome to my website and please don't hesitate to email me with special requests or questions! I look forward to serving you. ~Angela Gripper Frames for Rug Hooking and Punch Needle Click on the picture below for more information.  Background images provided by:
